Support

This is a question about removing CMS Update - other support tickets about this are in the UNiTE, Remote CLI, eXtract Wizard section, but I can't raise a new ticket there - if you would like me to post this somewhere else, please let me know.

I wasn't aware that CMS Update was no longer needed and that it should be removed - I must have missed that somewhere!

I have just used this to update to joomla 3.6.0 - it seems to have worked but is that OK?

However, there are a couple of tickets about removing CMS Update:

#24987 – Akeeba CMS Update - safe to remove?

#25339 – How do I remove Akeeba CMS Update exactly?

In the last one, Davide says:

"you can safely remove it since all the changes were merged inside Joomla core.
You can uninstall it as any other extension: go to Extension > Manage > Search for "akeeba CMS" > Tick the result > Uninstall"

That search returns no extensions but a search for 'cms' gives:

Cmsupdate
Quick Icon - Akeeba CMS Update notification for Joomla! updates
System - CMS Update Email

Are these the right ones to uninstall? Anything else I need to do?

Do I also need to delete the Akeeba CMS Update site http://cdn.akeebabackup.com/updates/cmsupdate.xml (which is giving an error) or will that be removed when I uninstall the extensions?

Thanks.

Alan

Alan,

When you uninstall CMSUpdate, the Quick Icon and the plugin will uninstall too. The update server reference will be cleared as well.

Dale

Thanks for your very prompt response!

Will it have worked OK when I updated to joomla 3.6.0 using CMS Update?

Alan

Yes, the 3.6.0 update would be fine.

Great!

Thanks for your help, Dale.

You're welcome!
